Chocolate Protein Balls

Published on December 4, 2017

Chocolate and peanut butter – is there a better combination? Try these delicious protein balls for an afternoon pick-me-up or for that late night, guilt-free sweet fix. This recipe makes 10, so indulge piece by piece.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups porridge oats

2 tbs organic peanut butter

2 to 3 tbs of coconut oil

8 to 10 dates, roughly chopped

1 scoop chocolate protein powder

2 tbs coconut shavings

1 tbs chia seeds

2 tbs cacao powder

For the dusting:

2 tbs cacao powder

4 tbs coconut shavings

2 tbs chia seeds

Method

Place all ingredients into a food processor and pulse.

Spoon the mixture into a bowl and roll into golf ball sized balls. Wet your hands every couple of balls to avoid sticking. If the mixture is a little wet, add a little more oats and blitz again.

In separate bowls, place the cocoa powder, coconut shavings and chia seeds. Roll a few balls at a time in your topping of choice, then store in an airtight jar with greaseproof paper between each layer.

If stored in the fridge, take them out to soften an hour before eating.
